i think by failing to raise the 45%, the cayman islands and the tax return and the bain capital, obama was basically conceding that those are not legitimate shots. how can you spend $200 million advertising to push these facts and then when you confront the guy, you don't mention them? >> greta: you see -- i actually thought that that was smart because he looks like he is above this. that he is more presidential. and he leaves the dirty work to somebody else and doesn't have fingerprints on it, if they are done in campaign ads and certainly, pac ads, rather than his own campaign. >> that's the point, greta. it's the president says this is not worth dignifying and making it an issue, this is not worth the dignity of a presidential race, how are people going to vote based on it? it's dismissing the importance of your own campaign by not alluding to it. i think the final thing is that romney put obamacare back on the map in this election. this election was all about the economy. now it's about the economy and obamacare. and particularly the health care rationing board. i think that was ve

we didn't hear him once refer to the 47% and we didn't hear him talk about the cayman islands or mitt romney's taxes only paying 14% in income over these many years refusing to release 20 years of income tax returns. so many of the things that the president keeps -- and his campaign underline in their advertising in the battleground states against mitt romney, he was silent on. i don't understand that. and i'm sure a lot of his supporters don't understand that as well. he's got a lot of work to do to get ready for the next debate. >> speaking of work. yeah. he's got some practice clearly. it's now a blur and i almost forgot how many primary debates that were in the republican primary, but going back, it's 22! mitt romney had 22 bites at this apple before coming to that podium last night. so is this a case of practice really is critical even if you're an eloquent public speaker like the president is? >> right. practice is very important. whether you're a tennis player or a celloist, you got to practice. if you want to be a good debater you have to practice. clearly the sessions the pre
